In order to legally fly a drone within the entertainment district, a drone operator must have a current pilot’s license, the drone must be registered with the FAA, and a flight authorization request must be submitted to the FAA with details of where the drone will be flying, at what altitude, and for how long. During large public events, such as NFL, NCAA or MLB games, Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFRs) are issued which call for no airspace activity starting one hour before the advertised start time of the special event and ending one hour after its conclusion.
In addition to Hidden Level’s AMS, Arlington has been forward looking with testing smart city technologies that include sensor-laden robots that scan the city’s sewer systems, smart traffic signals that analyze and monitor signal and safety information in real-time, digitizing government, business and customer information and transactions, infrastructure for driverless vehicles, 5G broadband, and other Internet of Things (IoT) technologies that increase efficiencies and connectivity.
Based in Syracuse, Hidden Level was recently selected by the New York State Police to monitor airspace over the 2021 New York State Fair which saw nearly 800,000 visitors over the 18-day event. They are also working with NASA’s Ames Research Center on drone-traffic management and advanced aerial mobility applications. Over the past three years the company has raised more than $21 million in venture capital.
